Kissed by the sun

I have been unpicking an old pillowcase, not that there was much picking to do. The pillow has been bathed with sun for years, leaving the thread somewhat fragile (understatement in case you didn’t notice,-). I absolutely love the soft and faded-to-almost-white colours on the “worst” side.

Can you believe these all are the same fabric,that these 4 orange rectangles where the same colour and these are two sides of the same story?I’m not sure what I’ll be making, but the name will be “kissed by the sun” for sure.

welcome

to my tiny little piece of the Internet; I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Leave a comment if you like; I would love to hear from you. You'll find my patterns and tutorial tabs on the top of the page.All material is copyrighted.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 9 and 5 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 18 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
